Prayers for you in the passing of your precious Mother. She was a jewel. Always a ray of sunshine when either working with her in the greenhouse or at the Ruritan Club making apple butter. She could work circles around everyone but made it a joy to be with her even when she kept you on your toes. Will always remember her sweet kind spirit. May God comfort you in the coming days.

Jean, so sorry to hear about your Mom’s passing. Mattie really enjoyed their quilting adventures and their time at Senior Citizens. We still have some beautiful quilts you and your Mom helped her make for us. You have been blessed to have her with you so long. They have probably caught up with each other by now!
